2 EPS AUSTRALIA SERVICES COMPANY OVERVIEW EPS is a recognised company specialising in Electrical, Instrumentation, Structural, Mechanical and Piping services. We have an appreciation for client and top tier provider expectations and the commitment required in completing technically challenging projects. Our extensive experience has provided us insight into projects to allow us to manage construction verification, Quality Assurance, Completions (Handover & Turnover), Pre-commissioning, Commissioning, Start Up and Operations efficiently. Offering our services as an integrated solution enables complex projects to be completed and managed by a single service provider, leading to a seamless solution for all of your electrical needs.

3 HV COMMISSIONING SERVICES EPS Group Australia has been involved in numerous projects throughout Australia working on a wide range of electrical systems. These projects have included installation and commissioning of complex protection and control schemes for high voltage electrical generation, transmission and distribution installations. EPS can also assist with investigative works for fault identification and maintenance of existing installations to ensure compliance with relevant standards and codes. Our commissioning team has extensive experience and expertise in the installation, testing and commissioning of all facets of ELV, LV, MV and HV electrical installations, including, but not limited to: Commissioning, planning and progress reporting Test procedure development Inspection and test plan development Inspection and test record development High Voltage Protection Schemes, including Generation, Transmission and Distribution systems as well as communication assisted protection schemes. High Voltage Transformers, with experience in larger units up to 500MVA Earth grid and Earthing system testing Witnessing hold points on vendor deliverables Factory Acceptance Testing and Site Acceptance Testing Construction documentation and operational readiness assessment Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Commissioning Circuit Breakers LV & HV (GIS, ACB, VCB and SF6) Current Transformers and Voltage Transformers High Voltage Switchboards High Voltage MCC Switchboards High Voltage Ring Main Units (RMU s) High Voltage Earthing Systems Harmonic Filter Units + Power Factor Correction Units Variable Speed Drives
